Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My students will build financial literacy by earning classroom dollars. Their math skills increase by counting, exchanging, and spending their dollars. I want to use positive motivation to help students grow through my classroom rewards store.

Students will earn points through classwork, grades, and behavior to shop at the store.

Each month students are given a day to shop at the classroom store using the money they have earned. Students will have to balance, save, and budget for the rewards they want! I am requesting Harry Potter theme rewards, fidget toys, pencils, erasers, plush toys, candy, snacks, and many more to help fill my classroom store. These items are awesome rewards the kids will want to save up to buy! I want to make sure I have enough materials so every student has the opportunity to save up their money to buy one.

By funding this project you will not only place a smile on a child's face, but you will also give them an opportunity to have something that they want when most of the time don't get and learn to make wise purchases. Specific tangible rewards help students maintain their motivation and stay on task through the end of the school year. Offering these incentives will help students stay on track academically and behaviorally in order to be successful in school and life.
